The governments of Africa where jihadis are active seem powerless to stop them, or not interested in doing so.
“19 civilians killed in DR Congo by Islamic State-linked militants,” AFP, August 29, 2021:
Nineteen civilians in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo were burned and hacked to death on Friday by Ugandan Islamist rebels, a local official said on Saturday.
Fourteen bodies were found on Saturday, Kakule Kalunga told AFP. A local chief said they were discovered by Red Cross workers who went into nearby forest to look for those missing after the attack on Kasanzi village in the Beni territory of North Kivu.
Beni lies at the heart of an area where the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) – linked to Islamic State – have mounted deadly attacks in spite of emergency security measures by President Felix Tshisekedi.
The “19 people were killed by the rebels who plague the territory of Beni, the ADF,” Kalunga said, adding that the victims were killed by “bladed weapons and fire”, and that houses were also set ablaze….
Since May, the provinces of North Kivu and Ituri have been under a state of siege, replacing civilian authorities with army and police officers to fight armed groups….

Day after day these reports of atrocities in African countries. Islam really is the Devil’s own religion. Islam creates the most vicious, evil, murderous monsters. And we have so many clowns who keep telling us that islam is basically peaceful and that it deserves respect. Islam and its followers deserves no respect. They deserve nothing but contempt from decent people everywhere.

And the Biden administration is welcoming these muslim/islamic migrants to your neighborhood. Won’t they make great neighbors? Can’t wait to hear the call to prayer over loud speaker that will help drown out the gun fire and screams as they murder your non-islamic neighbors. Atrocities will become the norm.
